So I was commenting about Im2lucky, not about my husband.

He recently was inpatient twice and then had a medication change. Yes he’s been on meds all along. The last three-four years. He just finished IOP and continues with individual counseling and psychiatrist/labs..
Ah alright.

What's the psychiatrist's opinion, do the meds work for the mania enough?

I agree with those that are saying that your first priority needs to be your kids. Kids #1. Husband is only #2.

It's totally possible to do a temporary separation without doing more harm, get help for how to execute it.

It would have the advantages of:

- Keeping your kids safe.
- Less stress/less damage to yourself now and long term.
- Less stress/less damage to your husband long term.
